Small Block Distributor Recommendation

Two votes for Trailbeast. I don't mind the idea of using a factory distributor. Makes it look more original. HEI means I can find parts anywhere in case of emergency.

I read Trailbeast's website. Interesting!

If you are set on the sniper in the future, do yourself a favor and keep what you have. To have the sniper control timing you will have to lock out an msd style distributor, with an adjustable rotor.

I went through the same questions with my setup. I went with the Fitech unit over the sniper. Still need to get all together, though.

Yes, I thought about that too, but I'd really like to get rid of the MSD box. I think I read that that can be removed and the Sniper can control the ignition. I need to read the instructions one day so I can see what I'm potentially getting myself into.

The thing about the TSP unit is that it's "upgradeable". It can be locked out and the vacuum can could be removed and plugged. This way the Sniper can control it.

I have a TSP small cap Pro in my 340 and it is a clone of the MSD. The cap and rotor are MSD. Very easy to change spprings and bushings and you dont need the ECU and ballast. George from Top Street Performance is a great guy to deal with

Cool. Good to know. They are also local to me too! Is the vacuum advance adjustable too?
